It's pretty clear that they thought they could just run over England with rank turners. Even when they got thrashed in Australia, I remember Gambhir said something along the lines of, "let them come to India and play on raging turners" and Sehwag saying "we beat Australia 2-0 at home"After 8 straight losses they still didn't get it. They were still in denial.The problem is not in the pitches, it's the players that are effing up. India has gone to places such as England and Australia before and performed well. So conditions should not be the excuse. They should take a hard look at themselves and start realizing that they have work to do. Stop making lame excuses and get to work!

How can a man who scored 100 100s and **** load of runs look as if he is batting for the first time? Honestly, I don't get it. Even in his prime he looked very nervous early in his innings. Why? Yes every player feels that shakyness early on, but he takes it to the next level. He is a such a chokedulkar no-clutch player.

Swann to Yuvraj Singh, no run, around the wicket, forward just outside off, is this pad first? Another big lbw shout, not out given, another that England probably would have reviewed
So a lack of DRS pays off for the BCCI! England will feel aggrieved...
